This study found that the Lim-homeodomain transcription factor Lhx2 regulates Sonic Hedgehog signaling during early retinal neurogenesis in mice by controlling the expression of pathway genes in retinal progenitor cells.

This study identified a new role for IL-4Ra-induced oxidative metabolism in wound macrophages, essential for balancing inflammatory response and promoting pro-fibrotic repair, suggesting a target for fibrosis prevention.

This study suggests that dsRNA may enhance KRT9 expression in palm and sole skin through β-catenin signaling, potentially linking mechanical damage to specific skin features and certain skin conditions.

This study demonstrated that both HR isoforms are expressed in keratinocytes, but HRDelta1072-1126 lacks corepressor activity and may act as a coactivator by inhibiting HDAC recruitment to the VDR transcriptional complex.

This study found that the OXI1 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana is vital for activating key protein kinases and is necessary for oxidative burst signal responses like pathogen resistance and root hair growth.

This study found that both the natural ligand 1alpha,25(OH)(2)D(3) and the synthetic agonist LG190178 bind similarly to the vitamin D receptor's coregulator motifs, suggesting similar biological functions.

This study found that compound 3, a tetrahydropyridoindole carboxymethylated at position 5, significantly inhibited sorbitol accumulation in both rat eye lenses and tissues affected by diabetes, indicating its potential as a lead compound for ALR2 inhibition.

This study found that elevated epidermal ODC activity in transgenic mice promotes skin tumor development by recruiting bulge stem cells, rather than through reactive oxygen species generation by polyamine catabolic oxidases.

This study found that human TMEM2 does not function as a hyaluronidase but is involved in regulating hyaluronan metabolism.

This study found that the GPRC6A-Duox1 signaling pathway influences hair cycle progression and testosterone-mediated hair loss in mice, suggesting that disruption of this pathway leads to resistance against testosterone-induced hair loss and longer anagen phase duration.

This review synthesizes the diverse roles of the transcription factor LHX2 in development, tissue maintenance, and injury repair across various organ systems, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications and significance in regenerative medicine, particularly in developmental disorders and tissue regeneration.

This chapter discusses the molecular biology of the vitamin D receptor in gene transcription and reports no new results; it highlights recent findings on receptor activity independent of its usual ligand.

This study found that increased mRNA expression of the Ectodysplasin-A2-Receptor, observed across multiple species and tissues, may exacerbate inflammation during aging, suggesting potential benefits of blocking EDA2R/EDA-A2 signaling.

Antisense oligonucleotides show promise for treating Myotonic Dystrophy type I.

Ovol2 is essential for normal skin and hair regeneration.

This study reported that overexpressing ornithine decarboxylase in C57Bl/6 mice increased their sensitivity to tumor promotion by TPA, a change reversible by doxycycline treatment.

This research suggests that targeting the HIF-1α pathway via PHD inhibitors may enable regeneration similar to amphibians in mammals, potentially fast-tracking regenerative therapies from mice to humans.

In this study, researchers found that stabilizing the protein HIF1A in hair follicles promotes glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, potentially reducing oxidative stress and supporting hair growth.

In this study, OCT showed strong nuclear binding in certain skin cells, suggesting similar genomic effects to vitamin D with potential therapeutic benefits due to its lower calcaemic effect.

CaBP1 and 2 are important for maintaining the activity of calcium channels necessary for hearing in inner ear cells.

This study explored the molecular mechanisms determining the identity of keratinocytes and corneal epithelial cells, finding that miRNAs from the Gtl2-Dio3 region, which regulate key signaling pathways, play a significant role in cell identity through the Hox/Gtl2-Dio3 miRNA axis.

This study suggests that mutation-targeted siRNA therapy could potentially treat keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome by selectively reducing harmful GJB2 mutant gene expression in patient-derived keratinocytes.

This study found that RSPO1, a Wnt/β-catenin pathway agonist, significantly induces insulin-producing β cell replication and neogenesis in various settings, offering a promising potential therapy for diabetes.

This study in a transgenic mouse model found that repressing overexpression of ornithine decarboxylase reduced papilloma development, indicating its role in tumor promotion sensitivity.

This study found that deleting all three Tet genes in mice led to shorter hair shafts and altered hair types, with associated changes in gene expression and DNA hydroxymethylation.

This study identified and characterized a murine type II hair keratin, demonstrating its presence in specific cells of hair and tongue tissues.

This study used Cisd2 knockout mice models and found that these mice display premature aging characteristics and an increase in dysfunctional neutrophils, suggesting Cisd2's role in calcium homeostasis and neutrophil function via interactions with Calnexin and SERCA.

This study found that activating ALDH2, an enzyme that detoxifies acetaldehyde, promoted hair growth in hair follicles by reducing oxidative stress and enhancing cellular signaling pathways, suggesting a potential therapeutic approach for inducing hair regrowth.

This study found that antroquinonol inhibited CD8+ T cell proliferation and reduced proinflammatory cytokine secretion in vitro, while also ameliorating H2O2-induced depigmentation and resisting reductions in hair follicle length, skin thickness, and tyrosinase expression in mice.
